As students of history will note, this play denotes that those who take power become kings, not any divine right, might makes right and Bollinbroke ie Henry IV is just a tyrant with no real claim to rule than any other dictator.. But he lived in times past so he's elegant..
-
is this entire performance available ?
-
thought he was having a turdicus at the beginning there.
-
Derek is so awesome. As well as really handsome!
-
why is it the one thing i cant seem to find from this version is the abdication scene????
-
brilliant!!!
-
Actually, on my online literature group we will be discussing this play in January so I must track down the production. I hope it is easy to find. I love Derek Jacobi...he is an amazing actor.

And
"You think I'll weep;
No, I'll not weep:
I have full cause of weeping, but this heart
Shall break into a hundred thousands flaws
Or ere I'll weep."
from King Lear (Act II, scene IV)?
But in my opinion too
"Mine eyes are full of tears. I cannot see."
(espcially if delivered in the way Jacobi does) is totally heartbreaking, and Shakespeare's saddest scene.

Yes, you should definitely buy it, it's utterly wonderful! I have just uploaded the whole abdication scene from the dvd on my little portable mp3 and video player, so that I can watch it over and over again...
